Protect your phone
Choose carefully
Here are a few tips: » To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses, use apps
from trusted
sites, like Play Store. » Check the app’s ratings and comments before
installing. If you doubt
the safety of an app, don’t install it. » Apps use up memory, data, battery,
and processing power–some
more than others. If you’re not happy with how much memory, data, battery or
processing power an app is using, uninstall it. » Monitor children’s access,
to prevent exposure to inappropriate content, and set limits on phone use,
swipe up from the home screen and tap Settings > Digital Wellbeing & parental
controls. » Certain apps may not provide completely accurate information. Take
care, especially when it comes to personal health.
Set app permissions
You may be asked for permissions when you use a feature in an app. To modify
permissions for an app, touch and hold an app, then tap
App info > Permissions. Tap a feature (such as microphone), then tap Allow,
Allow all the time, Allow only while using the app, Ask every time, or Don’t
allow.
Take care of your apps
